The mouse microbiome is required for sex-specific diurnal rhythms of gene expression and metabolism

ABSTRACT: The circadian clock and associated feeding rhythms have a profound impact on metabolism and the gut microbiome. To what extent microbiota reciprocally affect daily rhythms of physiology in the host remains elusive. Here, we analyzed transcriptome and metabolome profiles of male and female germ-free mice. While mRNA expression of circadian clock genes revealed subtle changes in liver, intestine, and white adipose tissue, germ-free mice showed considerably altered expression of genes associated to rhythmic physiology. Strikingly, absence of microbiome severely compromised liver sexual dimorphism, showing strongly attenuated sex-specific rhythmicity. The resulting feminization of male and masculinization of female germ-free animals is likely caused by altered sexual development and growth hormone secretion, associated to differential activation of xenobiotic receptors. This defines a novel mechanism by which the microbiome regulates host metabolism.

Temporal profile of Liver of Cry1/2 double knockout (DKO) mice

Project description:Gut microbiota and the circadian clock both regulate metabolism. The circadian clock and associated feeding rhythms were shown to impact on the microbial community. However, to what extent gut microbiota reciprocally affect daily rhythms of gene expression and physiology in the host remains elusive. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomes of male and female germ-free mice. While this revealed subtle changes in circadian clock gene expression in liver, intestine, and white adipose tissue, germ-free mice showed considerably altered expression of genes associated to rhythmic physiology. Strikingly, absence of microbiome severely compromised liver sex-dimorphism at the transcriptome and metabolome level. Their sex-specific rhythmicity was strongly attenuated. The resulting feminization of male and masculinization of female hepatic gene expression in germ-free animals is likely caused by altered sex-dimorphism in sex and growth hormone secretion, linked to differential activation of xenobiotic receptors. This defines a novel mechanism by which the gut microbiome regulates host metabolism.

Project description:Gut microbiota and the circadian clock are both key regulators of the metabolic processes. Although recent evidence points to the impact of the circadian clock on microbiota, gut microbiota effect on diurnal host gene expression remains elusive. A transcriptome analysis of germ-free mice reveals subtle changes in circadian clock gene expression. However, a lack of microbiome leads to liver feminization and alters the expression of male-specific genes involved in lipid metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification associated with sustained activation of the Growth Hormone pathway. These results emphasize the mutual interaction of gut microbiota and its host even on unexpected functions.

Circadian Proteomics Landscape of Mouse Livers Organized by Time-restricted Feeding: Proteomics

Project description:Meal timing is essential in synchronization of circadian rhythms in different organ systems through clock-dependent and -independent mechanisms. The liver is a critical metabolic organ whose circadian clock and transcriptome can be readily reset by meal timing. However, it remains largely unexplored how circadian rhythms in the liver are organized in time-restricted feeding that intervenes meal timing. Here, we applied data-independent acquisition proteomics to characterize circadian features associated with day/sleep- (DRF) and night/wake (NRF)-time restricted feeding in nocturnal female mice. The transcriptomics and metabolomics datasets are public (see www.circametdb.org.cn).

Circadian Proteomics Landscape of Mouse Livers Organized by Time-restricted Feeding: Phosphorylation

Project description:Meal timing is essential in synchronization of circadian rhythms in different organ systems through clock-dependent and -independent mechanisms. The liver is a critical metabolic organ whose circadian clock and transcriptome can be readily reset by meal timing. However, it remains largely unexplored how circadian rhythms in the liver are organized in time-restricted feeding that intervenes meal timing. Here, we applied affinity-purification based shotgun proteomics for protein phosphorylation to characterize circadian features associated with day/sleep- (DRF) and night/wake (NRF)-time restricted feeding in nocturnal female mice. The transcriptomics and metabolomics datasets are public (see www.circametdb.org.cn).
